Risk Factors Predicting Outcomes in Advanced Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors.

Gastroenterology Res

December 2024

Division of Medical Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, The Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, Columbus, OH 43210, USA.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have moved to the frontline in recent years to manage upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tumors, such as esophageal and gastric cancers. This retrospective review sheds light on real-world data on ICI-treated UGI tumors to identify risk factors (clinical and pathological) impacting the outcome other than traditional biomarkers (programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) or microsatellite instability status).

Methods: Patients with UGI tumors who received at least one dose of ICI for stage IV or recurrent disease between January 1, 2015, and July 31, 2021, at The Ohio State University were included in the study.

Pathology provides the definitive diagnosis, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are poised to improve accuracy, inter-rater agreement, and turn-around time (TAT) of pathologists, leading to improved quality of care. A high value clinical application is the grading of Lymph Node Metastasis (LNM) which is used for breast cancer staging and guides treatment decisions. A challenge of implementing AI tools widely for LNM classification is domain shift, where Out-of-Distribution (OOD) data has a different distribution than the In-Distribution (ID) data used to train the model, resulting in a drop in performance in OOD data.

MRI findings in six dogs with ependymoma of the brain and spinal cord.

Vet Radiol Ultrasound

January 2025

Department of Clinical Sciences and Advanced Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, Section of Radiology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

There are few published descriptions of the MRI appearance of canine intracranial or spinal cord ependymoma. In this multicenter, retrospective, secondary analysis, case series study, three veterinary radiologists independently reviewed and recorded imaging characteristics of MRI studies in six dogs with histopathologically confirmed ependymoma (three intracranial and three spinal cord cases). A consensus was reached when there was disagreement on specific features.

Preclinical studies suggest that irreversible electroporation (IRE) increases the effect of immune checkpoint inhibition in pancreatic cancer (PC). Patients with PC received PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab and, on day 10, percutaneous IRE of a liver metastasis. Blood samples were analyzed for immune cell subsets and inflammation related proteins.

We describe the case of a 36-year-old woman with a past medical history of low grade right frontal lobe glioma and focal epilepsy presenting with subacute, progressive, multifocal myoclonus and neck and back pain. Unlike her typical seizures, the myoclonus exhibited a distinct semiology, involving both positive and negative muscle jerks affecting multiple limb muscles while sparing the face. In addition, neurological examination revealed low-amplitude, arrhythmic movements of the hands and fingers, resembling minipolymyoclonus.
